Lighting Installation reviews in La Palma

Real People ~ Real Reviews ~ Real Results

We worked with American home improvement and with Tammy as our project manager. We had our complete house re-piped including replacing the main pipe and to remodel the kitchen. Tammy helped us to redesign the kitchen, master bedroom and our half-bath. She was able to present us how it will look like when finished by the 3D design of the rooms on the computer and by making all the changes we wanted. They increased the size of the kitchen by using the unused space outside. It turned out even better than we imagined. American home improvement crew stayed with us during the long remodeling process. It was perfect to have the same people each day and have them working on the house. All the deadlines have been achieved including the city inspections that have been passed. We are very happy with the results of the remodeling and we do recommend them to anyone.

If your a home owner then you have probably had to deal with contractors. If your like me then this is NOT your FAV part of owning a home. Contractors can be so DISHONEST and will up sale you for things you don't need using scare tactics or they just take your money and run, do a half azz job that ends up costing you more in the long run.

Last year I found a Groupon for Angie's List. It was an excellent deal but I never used it. My year was about up and I was now in need of some electrical work in my home. The hubby went on Angie's List and read umpteen reviews for this guy so we decided to call him out.

I called and he said he could come out the next day. I was sick and forgot to text him my address. I ran home after work and quickly texted him and he showed anyway. THANK GOD! He accessed the issues and emailed me an estimate. He was super professional and NICE!

His prices were VERY REASONABLE! After we counted up all the outlets and switches and did our calculations according to his estimate we emailed him back to say we were on board with the work and price and asked when he could start. He told us he would be able to start that Friday at 8:30am. PERFECT!

Friday came and RIGHT ON TIME he showed with 2 additional workers. They started the work and told me they would need to shut off the electricity. Ok no problem. I had a TOTAL brain fart and forgot this would need to happen. I went to make something to eat and realized everything at my house is electric...I guess it's a cold sand for bfast. Then I went to use the restroom and was wondering WHY IN D **** the lights wouldn't come on. DUHHH RYAN! It's funny how you just expect things to work all the time.

Anyway they worked diligently and took a reasonable amount of time for lunch break. They cleaned up after themselves as they went, moved furniture and put it back, and even made friends with my two girls that were following them all over and I'm sure getting in the way trying to see what they were doing.

Thru tested all the outlets and switches as they went and Alonzo's quote even included updating some of the switches in my panel. Older homes are great but there is some updating that has to be done over time. Its

It went great. I'm a happy repeat customer.
At first, we sent them an email describing the work we wanted done. They called back to schedule the work.
They were here on time. We showed them the work to do, and got an estimate of $400. We agreed.
On the same trip, they installed everything perfectly. One guy had to go to Home Depot to purchase some rollers for the closet doors. They didn't charge extra for this trip or the parts. The final bill was exactly $400.
A week earlier, we had another company install carpeting, which was higher than the old carpet. Therefore, the closet doors now drag on the carpet.
We thought they might have to cut down the height of the hanging closet doors. But later they figured out they could make an adjustment to the rollers so that wasn't necessary.
They both worked at the same time. They brought all their own tools. They damaged nothing. They are nice, helpful, friendly guys who know how to do the job right.
The lights work great. The fans works great. The closet doors slide nicely, and don't touch the carpet any more. And all the closet doors now have guides on the bottom to keep them in place.
Thank you!

They were phenomenal! They let me know exactly when the work would be performed, how long it would take, and what to expect. Kathy came to our house to meet with us as to what we wanted. We then met at her place of business, where she showed us many plants she thought would fit into our scheme. She sent out two of her employees to get exact measurements and take pictures of the area. She then sent us a detailed plan with all the plants, lights, etc. they would be installing. Julie, the project manager, was here every day to oversee the work, and to answer our many questions, as well as get her fingers dirty planting. They came back to go over the watering schedule and to show us how to work the system should we need to adjust it. As of now, my husband and I spend each morning sitting on our patio, enjoying our beautiful garden as we drink our morning coffee. We think of it as our own private resort. We are so happy we used Alford's!

Erick Allen, the owner, was hands on throughout the project. He seemed to be highly experienced in this field of business. He is very polite and professional. We basically told him what we wanted to achieve and he met our expectation. He met us at his recommended store to select stones and tiles. He also helped us pick lighting fixtures. He is always responsive when we called and emailed him. Project took 2 months from signing the contract to completion. There are some small details that we are still expecting to get completed. Quality of work is excellent. The workers always made sure construction areas were cleaned up at the end of day. This was very important for us. We feel that pricing was a good value for the high quality workmanship and quality of material used.

It went well. The guy knows what he is doing.

- WONDIMU A.

Everything was fantastic. He knew exactly what he was doing, and didn't even charge me for a part he had to run to Home Depot to get for the project. I'd highly recommend his services.

Steve called three times on days he was scheduled to do the work to reschedule the date he could actually do the job.

Workers (2) arrived on time and were extremely efficient. They cleaned up after themselves and left my kitchen clean and neat. I would not hesitate to use them again!
